Her slim figure remained apparent despite being dressed in a form-fitting camouflage outfit with a bulletproof vest over it .
A triangular bayonet shone dully at the back of her waist belt while a coldly glinting Desert Eagle was quietly buckled to her far left, on standby .
Her long slender legs were tightly covered by a pair of ocean camouflage pants, and she wore a dashing pair of military boots on her feet; a razor-sharp dagger was hidden in one of them .
On her iron-clad wrist was an exquisite engraving of a vermilion bird covered in fire .
The evening breeze blew across the room from the ajar windows .
Her short, blond hair fluttered in the wind and swept against her cold, beautiful face .
Under her handsome brows was an evil and alluring pair of almond-shaped eyes .
This young girl was none other than one of the ace leaders of Mercenary Paradise, Vermilion Bird .
She was also his personal subordinate .
He only frowned in reply .
Vermilion Bird served him a cup of tea expressionlessly .
He gradually calmed down after a few sips of tea .
He glanced up at the cold woman standing quietly at his side .
He called out faintly, “Vermilion Bird . ”
“Yes . ”
“Where’s the little lad?”
“That imp, Yun Tianyou . ”
She answered, “As an exchange hostage, Youyou is now heading to the target destination . ”
“When will the rescue operation commence?”
“Tonight . It will start in the wee hours . ”
He continued . “Is the positioning successful?”
“The precise positioning has been obtained . All our men are already stationed there; we’ll act in the early morning . ”
He arched a brow as a teasing smirk appeared on his lips . “That lad is capable, indeed!”
It turned out that the boy had done a thorough preparation before heading there as a hostage .
He was entirely equipped with positioning devices .
His necklace, watch, and even buttons were implanted with mini positioning devices .
However, Mu Lianjue’s subordinates were very cautious and had a high degree of vigilance; they were from the military, after all . Hence, the positioning devices on him were all removed .
He expected this, though, so he was not surprised .
Those were nothing but bluff items to dispel the vigilance of those people!
As soon as he returned from the Mu residence, he ordered a doctor, who had worked with him before, to implant a nano positioning chip into the epidermal layer of his shoulder while he was treating his wounds .
This nanochip was a super chip that he had developed; not only was it hidden under his flesh, it was highly capable of positioning in the range of a hundred meters .
This nearly dark tech invention of his had not been released to the public yet .
Mu Lianjue expectedly used high-tech shielding devices to jam all positioning signals so that the hideout could not be tracked .
Unfortunately, those were all useless against his super nanochip invention .
There was bound to be a loophole .
This was also why he took the initiative to suggest the exchange of hostages .
His mother and twin did not have any positioning devices on them .
Even if they had, they would be jammed, too .
In such a large area, finding where the hostages were kept would indubitably be a needle in a haystack .
In fact, he could always employ a big group of people to do a carpet search, but even if this method was successful in locating his family, it would also inadvertently alert the enemy .
